Description

Jumpman is a bomb disposal expert. He is called on to save the Jupiter headquarters after the evil Alienators invade it and booby-trap its 30 levels.

In this early platform game, the titular hero must find his way around each screen, collecting every bomb. There are platforms and ladders to use, and a jet booster to propel you up the screen. However there are also enemies to avoid, and Jumpman must be careful not to fall too far.

For the lag, try to increase the emulation speed by pressing ctrl+f12.

To jump, press space (long press)

To move, just the direction keys or 4-6-8-2

Excellent game by the way, as good as in my memories, and really playable

It was better then and it's better now. ;) Though only slightly....no jump button.

I so wanted this to work. This game was my childhood. But like was said before to much lag to be able to play.

This was one of my favorite games growing up! I was so excited to see it here, but, sadly, it's not playable as it is here. The lag is so long, I can't help but run off the side of the platform. I hope this gets ironed out quickly!
